Berserker seems nice but this is what is missing

-has x% chance to cast a socketed warcry gem on melee kill

or

- Warcries linked together are shouted simulatniously

one more to go, but i doubt you'll get an auto cast warcry...they were changed so you couldn't use them on cast on supports

Nice? Worst class along with Juggernaut, take your pick.

I play pure melee since D1 created and up to PoE, never seen a more weaker and unappealing melee barbarian that the biased GGG consistently portrays. Very sad.

Duelist is go to melee by far, its got so much more flavor and useful options without stupid procs and barriers/downsides in the way. Unless they decide to nerf hammer it blasphemy style.

Berserker seems pretty meh imo. Only good passive is the 100% inc dmg one (and it isn't as good as it seems as you prob have like 300%-ish from tree + STR bonus already). On-kill buffs and aren't reliable enough when you need them most (and the buffs are pretty meh). Quite sad with this announcement as I was planning a 2H melee DPS mara build for ascendancy...

Seriously, compare this class to "crits ignore ele resists", or "2 extra totems", or "all flasks have surgeon's and staunching", or "100% block to spell block", or "massive base crit and crit multi buffs per power charge", or "30% MORE damage and +1 arrow/chain". It's very underwhelming.

Dude there is still one left to be announced. Theres no need to get depressed, yet.

yes 1 more ray of hope left for the marauder while the first 2 are utter trash relative to everything else released. its A-OK and so acceptable. /s

Would be horrible imo. Having to use the Warcries every few seconds leads to a more active playstyle. I know that a lot of players like to hold one button down only, but it is nice to at least have a bit more active option.

When you think about it, if the 100% leech thing is compatible with VP, end-game bosses are gonna turn into a freakin' walk in a park.
My marauder has potentially reserved a ticket =]

Unless they introduce dual wielding two-handed weapons I am going with Juggernaut. Dont know how about you fellas but; never be pinned down by traps or slowed below base move speed by any means is the best thing I have seen yet out of any ascendancy class!
